If you’re going to be planning a micro wedding soon, here are some top tips and considerations to take into account.

 

Hosting a micro wedding is a chic and recently popular option that has a lot of benefits. If you’re considering this option for your big day, there are a few tips that you’ll want to keep in mind. Let’s go over some of those tips and discuss some of the top things that you’ll want to consider while planning a 2026 micro wedding.

Don’t Underestimate the Planning

Many couples choose a micro wedding because it can eliminate a lot of stress and planning. While this is true, it’s important not to underestimate the planning, as this could lead to more stress or things getting missed.

 

Make sure that you give yourself enough time for important details, like selecting a caterer and finding the right dress and alterations specialist, so that you’re on the right track and nothing is being done at the last minute.

Having a Strict Guest List

One of the best (and also hardest) parts of a micro wedding is that you need to have a strict guest list. Your old band teacher from middle school probably won’t make the cut, but it’s important to be sure that you include people in your guest list who are meaningful and who you truly want to be there.

 

It can be difficult to have conversations with people when they’re not invited to your wedding, but it’s essential to remember that your big day is about YOU and what you want. Don’t be afraid to put your own wishes first and keep your wedding about you and your partner… Those are the only two people that matter in this situation!

 

Consider making your guest list early on so that you can be sure you know exactly how many people to plan for white you’re making other important wedding decisions. 

Find the Right Venue

One of the most essential parts of a micro wedding is finding the right venue. At Spring Lake Events, we have an intimate venue that’s perfect for micro weddings. You’ll have the opportunity to take beautiful photos, as well as focus on your guests, so consider our venue if you’re interested in an outdoor Georgia option.

Start with a Moodboard

One of the best ways to plan a micro wedding is by starting with a moodboard. This can help you narrow down the many different wedding themes and colors to be sure that you have a clear vision moving forward and that you’re on the right track.

 

While a physical moodboard can be a great and fun option, we recommend doing this part of your wedding planning online. When it’s done virtually, you can easily send it to your vendors and make sure that everyone’s on the same page. This can reduce stress and miscommunications, so it’s a step that you’ll want to take early on in the planning process.
